Abstract

Two-dimensional material (2DM)/conducting polymer (CP) composites with excellent electrical transport behavior, functional multidimensional structure, and good flexibility have attracted widespread attention as potential composite thermoelectric (TE) materials in the field of energy conversion. Appropriate preparation strategies determine the interface microstructure of 2DM/CP composites, which would influence the optimization degree of TE performance and practical applications. This review describes the recent progress in preparing advanced 2DM/CP composites by different design strategies for improving TE performance. In addition, some typical 2DM/CP composites applied to TE generators are also presented. Finally, other challenges and opportunities toward high-performance 2DM/CP composites are discussed, including precise structural regulation, an in-depth understanding of the interfacial transport mechanism, and the development of practical 2DM/CP-based flexible TE devices.
